“No trouble, I can do it myself.” Chu Qingning was still unaware that Xu Jizhou was the one who had feelings for her. No one had told her, and she didn’t pay much attention to Xu Jizhou, treating him just like a patient.

Xu Jizhou’s eyes dimed for a moment, “Let me help you?”

Chu Qingning felt that Xu Jizhou had crossed the line as a patient, but she couldn’t say it. He was a scholar and had strong self-esteem. Hence, she said anxiously, “You should go back to school. I heard that you’ll be taking the examination in a month. Aren’t you anxious?”

These words reminded Xu Jizhou of something. Perhaps Qingning would like him after he became a top scholar. “Then I’ll go back to school. I’ll definitely pass the exam.”

Chu Qingning nodded and encouraged, “I believe you can do it.”

Xu Jizhou left happily.

Chu Qingning watched Xu Jizhou leave. She shook her head and finally continued back home.

Jiang Zhaoyong watched smugly as Xu Jizhou left. Wanting to snatch Qingning from him? Dream on!

In the courtyard, Chu Qingyan was doing something with her three best friends in the small pavilion on the swing. When she saw Chu Qingning return, Chu Qingyan hurriedly waved at her. “Fourth Sister, look…”

Chu Qingning turned around…

Chu Qingyan was putting on makeup for one of her best friends, Chu Hongxiu.

Chu Hongxiu had a lot of freckles on her face. After putting on makeup, the freckles on her face could not be seen.

Chu Qingning walked over. With makeup on, Chu Hongxiu was flawless. However, Chu Qingyan’s skills were not good enough. Some white powder could be seen at the edge of Chu Hongxiu’s face, but overall, it was good.

Chu Hongxiu asked Chu Qingning shyly and expectantly, “Sister Qingning, have I become prettier?”

Chu Qingning smiled and nodded. “It’s much better. Take a quick look in the mirror.”

Chu Hongxiu hurriedly took the mirror and looked at it. The mirror in Chu Qingzhi’s house was a tribute sent back by Tang Jinghong. It was very clear, unlike a bronze mirror.

Tang Jinghong was very generous. The ladies at home each had a mirror, but the mirror was not big. Other than Chu Qingzhi’s half-body size mirror, the rest were only the size of a palm.

Chu Hongxiu touched her face in disbelief as she looked in the mirror. She said excitedly, ”1 can’t see the freckles on my face. Eighth Sister, you’re so awesome.”

Chu Qingyan smiled proudly. “I can help you do makeup next time.”

The second best friend pulled Chu Qingyan over and said anxiously, “Eighth Sister, it’s my turn.”

The table beside the swing was filled with all kinds of makeup tools. Previously, Chu Qingzhi was still thinking of making the tools she didn’t have herself. She didn’t expect Wang Xingming to give a set to Chu Qingyan. He even taught Chu Eighth how to use it in detail.

Chu Qingyan said, “I’ll make you up immediately.” After saying that, she turned around and looked at Chu Qingning. “Fourth Sister, how about I make you up in a while?”

Chu Qingning reached out and pinched Chu Qingyan’s face. “Are you saying that Fourth Sister is very ugly?”

Chu Qingyan quickly dodged. “No, no, I mean you’ll be more beautiful if you are made up.”

Chu Qingning pointed at Chu Hongxiu’s face. “You’re still a dabbler. Look at Hongxiu’s face. There’s still white powder. I don’t want it.”

Chu Qingyan hurriedly took a look. “Aiya, there really is.” She thought about it. “Fourth Sister, I’ll make you up in the future when I become more skilled.”

“Alright.” Chu Qingning into the house.

In the afternoon, Chu Qingzhi and the others entered Shuiyun County. Looking at the familiar scene, everyone could not help but feel relaxed.

Chu Xujin and Ge Lihua went to the government office to report. The merchant case was still unsolved. Now that they had received the approval from the capital, they could close the case.

Tang Jinghong brought Si Yuheng to the military camp and handed him over to Si Yingzong. Si Yingzong’s matter was completely settled.

It was inconvenient for Lin Wanning to go to the military camp, so she returned to the village with Chu Qingzhi for the time being. Si Yuheng would pick her up later.

After everyone went their separate ways, Ning Yuting said, “I’ll go pick up Qingyue.” He could not wait to see Chu Qingyue.

Chu Qingzhi said, “Let’s go together.”

However, Chu Qingyue was not in the shop.

This time, the villagers were busy in the fields. The older children also went to help. There were not many people in the village. Other than a few children, no one else saw Chu Qingzhi and the others return.

A five-year-old kid said happily, “Sister Qingzhi, you’re back?”

“We all miss you.”

“Where’s Brother Jinghong? Why isn’t he back?”

The children chattered non-stop, like a flock of noisy birds.

Chu Qingzhi took out a packet from the carriage and took out the candies inside. She distributed some to each child and smiled. “Eat.”

“Thank you, Sister Qingzhi.”

“This candy is like a ball of white thread. It’s so special.”

“I’ve never seen sugar like this before.”

“It’s delicious.”

Lin Wanning looked at the brats surrounding Chu Qingzhi and smiled. “Sister Qingzhi, you’re so popular.”

Chu Qingzhi touched the head of one of the children and smiled. “It’s very easy to be popular among children.”

The few of them continued walking home.

“Sister Qingzhi, your house is very beautiful.” Lin Wanning looked at the beautiful two-story ancient bungalow with a stunned expression.

Although Sister Qingzhi’s house was in the village, this house was not inferior to that of a rich family in the city. It was even more beautiful.

“It’s alright,” Chu Qingzhi said humbly and led everyone into the courtyard. “Wanning, there’s no need to be so formal in the village. Be casual.”

Lin Wanning said awkwardly, “Sister Qingzhi, I know.”

Chu Qingyan was the first to hear Chu Qingzhi’s voice. She turned around and saw that beautiful figure. She shouted in surprise, “Fifth Sister!” Then, she rushed over and hugged Chu Qingzhi excitedly. “Fifth Sister, I missed you so much.”

Chu Qingzhi patted Chu Qingyan’s back and smiled. “How’s the family recently?”

Chu Qingyan beamed with joy and said, “They’re all very good. Fifth Sister, it’s been hard on you. Come in and sit.”

Chu Qingyan greeted Ning Yuting again and shouted into the house, “Second Sister, look who’s here.”

Chu Qingyue was making new styles of clothes in the room. It was already the season. It was not easy to sell summer clothes now, so she had to make autumn clothes.

Hearing this, she walked out of the room and went to the balcony. The first thing she saw was naturally her pearl-like fifth sister, followed by Ning Yuting. “Fifth Sister, Yuting.”

After shouting, she ran downstairs happily.

Granny Chu, Li Qingyu, and Chu Qingning walked out of the house.

Li Qingyu hugged Chu Qingzhi as usual, her eyes filled with love. “I missed you so much. You’re finally back.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “I miss home too.”

Li Qingyu called out to Ning Yuting, “Yuting, you’re here too. Hurry up and come sit in the house. You must be travel-worn. I’ve prepared fruit juice for you to cool down. I’ll get it for you..”
